WEEK ONE, SATURDAY

[killerwaves]

INVESTIGATION(?)

Exciting night, no? Were you able to get to sleep, or did you stay up into the wee hours, seeing that far-off shimmer near the gazebos and listening to the rising rumble of whatever-that-is and wondering when it would come for you?

At least, when dawn finally comes and the shimmer is overcome by the rising light of the sun, it seems that last night wasn't the end. For you.

Instead, once it's morning proper, there's a shift -- like the breeze and the smell after a bout of sudden summer thunderstorm without the storm: the pressure and the oppressive atmosphere of yesterday is gone, just like that. But also: accompanying it a few seconds later is a clean whipcrack of sound, like giant hands clapping together. And a moment after that, you'll feel something pass overhead -- you won't be able to see anything, but anyone outside at the time will find themselves staggered by what seems to be a small shockwave spreading throughout the island.

That's not the only change that awaits you this morning, however.

You might want to get out of bed, if you haven't already, and take a proper look around.

(( OOC: Welcome to our peace week Saturday event, islanders! Please note that this will be run similarly to a normal investigation, but will not be a full investigation. As such, everyone is welcome to explore for the first part of the event, and then we will take a limited amount of people for the second half, investigation-style. ))

[ coming back from the gazebos himself a minute later... ]

...One would think the disappearance of a mysterious haze would be a good thing, but assuming it was what we thought it was...

[ well. they know what would — theoretically — make it stop.

and i guess he just missed the force field if shuda was the first out, so he's not actually sure what they're supposed to be looking at in front of their cabin? ]

Did you find something here?

[ ALSO GLANCING AT THE FLOWER PETALS AS HE ASKS THIS, THIS DOESN'T SEEM GREAT ]

[He nods, frowning.]

I can't say I'm thrilled that we're both thinking the same thing.

[Then, turning to glance around and make sure that the force field has completely disappeared:]

There was something surrounding the cabana-- some kind of force field. Whatever it was wasn't malevolent, at least. I'm wondering if it wasn't meant to block sound rather than keep us inside...

[passetemps]

It could have served both purposes, as well — to protect those of us inside and ensure that we remained unaware of what was happening outside.

[ frowning at the flower petals... ]

These flowers are, unfortunately, familiar.

[ aaaand the announcement's probably going to come shortly after that. rip. ]

[dancing_flames]

They've definitely put thought into this. Too much thought, if you ask me.

[Wow he didn't want to be right about this!!]
